Pictures of the day: 16 November 2012

...Jeff's model train is pictured on a fam near Brandon, Manitoba, Canada. Jeff says: "While it is tempting to document such a huge country from a helicopter or plane (in fact, it has been done several times) I wanted to get closer to the heart of the land. Two inches off the ground seemed about right. The model train provides a vehicle for the journey's visual narrative, linking far places with a ribbon of tiny steel rails. The train has its own resonance: a ghost from the past, it is an exact scaled-down replica of the 1955 Streamliner that was first named "The Canadian," which travelled the route between Montreal and Vancouver."Picture: Jeff Friesen/Rex Features
